From Kenya this report:
"In a strange turn of events, would be burglars got the shock of their lives when they broke into what they thought was an empty house only to stumble into the home’s owner who was getting a midnight “valentine” present from his wife.
John Kamau, 29, got an ipod from his older brother who lives in Kansas, USA as a christmas gift last December.
Lacking a radio set or receiver of any kind, John was lying next to his wife in the darkness of his living room and was holding the ipod in his hands while his wife had the headsets on her ears listening to romantic music that John’s brother had also sent from the US.
John had used the ipod to get his wife into a more loving and giving mood and was smiling from ear to ear when the wooden window behind him was suddenly smashed into pieces.
One of the pieces landed right next to John’s head on the floor almost popping his right eye out.
He says he turned and looked up from where he was lying on the floor with his wife to see a man’s gigantic foot rise up and almost crash his face in.
It was at that moment that John’s held his hands up as a sign of giving up.
But before he could even say anything, the two thieves, not knowing that the owner of the house was lying on the floor with his wife, got scared and ran back out via the window apparently thinking that the light from the ipod was a ghost.
John immediately put on his clothes, left his wife and trekked the 12 miles to the nearest police station.
The cops, who’d never seen an iPod before, confiscated it and sent John away calling him a liar and rich with imagination.
John’s brother later sent him another ipod, calling it “better than those Kenyan cops”
